750 CATTLE AND DAIRY FAEMING. 



the blank form provided in Appendix A (see Inclosure V). Tbe record may be made 

 either by the president or another member of the board named by him. 



In case the board.decides upon granting a permit, such permit is as a rule to be made 

 out at once according to the blank form provided in Appendix 13 (see Inclosure V), to 

 be certified to by the seal of the board of inspection /md the signature of the president, 

 and to be handed to the claimant. 



If the withholding of the permit is decided upon, the grounds therefor are verbally 

 stated to the bull-owner and briefly to be noted in the minutes. 



In exceptional cases the transmittal of the permit or the communication of the re- 

 fusal may take place through the medium of the mayor. 



If a permit had been previously issued for the inspected bull, such permit must be 

 delivered up to the board and by it destroyed. 



19. If no farrier be a member of the board it may, where for special reasons the de- 

 cision as to the granting of a permit depends upon the result of a veterinary examina- 

 tion of the bull, propose to the county authorities the holding of such examination and 

 the reporting of the result. The decision of the board is. however, in such cases to be 

 so rendered that it can be acted upon on commurtication of the result of the examina- 

 tion without another inspection of the bull, thereby causing further expenses, and with- 

 out further oral consultation of the board. 



20. The committee of the Agricultural District Association and the township meeting 

 are to be summoned by the county authorities to express their opinions as to the time 

 at which the regular annual bull inspection shall be held. Upon such opinions the Pres- 

 ident of the Board, with the consent of the county authorities, shall fix the date for the 

 bull inspection in the different townships with all possible regard to the saving of ex- 

 pense. 



In making the regular bull inspection tbe board is at the same time to make inquiry 

 in the diflerent townships as to whether the bull-keeping is in compliance with the pre- 

 scriptions of articles 1, 2, and 5 of the law, and of sections 1, 5, and 8 of the present de- 

 cree. The result of this inquiry is to be entered in a special current record of visits 

 made, which record is to state: 



(1) The number, race, age, and quality of the township bull (section 9, last section), 

 and in the cases of section 1, section 2, of the bulls mentioned therein. 



(2) The number and race of the cows and full-grown calves in the township district, 

 whereby if there are different races the number of animals belonging to, each race, is to 

 be stated separately, deducting those (the number of which is to be stated) for the cov- 

 ering of which the owners keep spe'cial bulls of their own. These figures are to be 

 placed at the disposal of the board by the mayor. 



(3) Method of bull-keeping, i. c, whether under the township's own management, or 

 through appointed bull-keepers, or with or without the purchase of the bulls at the ex- 

 pense of the township, or through third parties under contract for bull-keeping, &c. 



(4) Nature of the stalls where the bulls are kept. 



(5) Nature of the place for co.vering. 



(6) Maintenance of the bulls. 



(7) Irregularities discovered. 



(8) Suggestions by the board. 



After the termination of the regular bull inspection this record of visits made, with the 

 suggestions offered, is, with the minutes of the inspection, to be submitted to the coun- 

 ty authorities for their perusal, and afterward to be returned by the latter to the presi- 

 dent of the board of inspection. 



21. The granting and withdrawing of permits,* as well as the giving up of the same, is 

 to be communicated to the mayor, and to be promulgated by him in the usual manner. 



It is left to the j udgment of the county authorities as to publishing a statement of the 

 result of the regular bull inspection through the official paper of the district. 



If the withdrawal of a permit is legally ordered it is to be reclaimed and destroyed by , 

 the president of the board of inspection, if necessary through the medium of the mayor. 



To replace a. lost permit another may be made out by the president of the board of 

 inspection, based on the buU-inspeotion minutes. Such claim is to be complied with 

 where there exists no reason for suspecting any fraud. 



22. Proposals for granting a permit after the regular buU inspection are to be regis- 

 tered at the mayor's. At the same time, unless the proposal comes from a township 

 authority, an amount is to be deposited with him, which is likely to cover the expenses 

 arising from an examination of the bull at the place where it is kept. 



The mayor is to inform the county~authorities of the proposal when made, stating the 

 amount deposited. 



If the requirement to deposit a suflScient amount for costs be not fulfilled, the pro- 

 posal is to be refused by a resolution of the county authorities.
